Time difference between Johannesburg and Denver
Denver is 8 hours behind Johannesburg
Johannesburg, South Africa is UTC+2 · Denver, the United States is UTC−7 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Johannesburg does not change its clocks and Denver goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.
| Johannesburg / Denver clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 8 hours behind | about 34 weeks — most of the year |
| standard / standard | 9 hours behind | about 18 weeks |
Johannesburg stays put all year while Denver moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Denver's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Johannesburg's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Johannesburg and nine-to-five in Denver do not overlap at all. With 8 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
